The Four-type HPV Vaccine Gardasil(R) Demonstrates Real Life Benefits
Results from an observational study in Australia establish that after only one year of a comprehensive vaccination programme with the four-type (6,11,16,18) human papillomavirus (HPV) Gardasil® major benefits are already being seen. The study results will be presented at the 25th International Papillomavirus Conference (IPV) in Malmö, Sweden.

The study compared the proportion of new genital warts diagnoses in the total number of diagnoses of sexually transmitted diseases at the Melbourne Sexual Health Centre before and after the introduction of vaccination with Gardasil® and documents a 48% decline in this proportion only one year after vaccination (in women younger than 28 years).

"Our data suggest that a relatively rapid and marked reduction in the population prevalence of genital warts among vaccinated women may be achievable through an HPV vaccination program targeting women. Our data also supports some potential benefit being conferred to men. They seem to confirm the hypothesis that the vaccination of women reduces the transmission of the virus to men", says Professor Christopher Fairley at the University of Melbourne, Australia.

3. But what about all the sterility and death and paralysis the AV crowd was talking about?
Surely that couldn't have been so much fearmongering and pseudoscience?

Color me shocked!

6. No matter their motive, denying women access to this vaccine should now be considered a crime.
The Vatican and its minions, who not only refuse to allow but actively preach against the use of condoms, are still criminals even though they claim their motivation is divine.

A moment in history I'll never forget:

from Wikipedia's page on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mifepristone">Mifepristone also known RU-486:
The compound was discovered by researchers at Roussel Uclaf of France in 1980 (the "RU" in RU-486) while they were studying glucocorticoid receptor antagonists. Étienne-Émile Baulieu recognized its anti-progesterone activities and saw its potential for the induction of a medical abortion. Clinical testing began in 1982. The drug was first licensed in France in 1988, for use in combination with a prostaglandin, under the name Mifegyne. After license approval but before market release, Roussel Uclaf announced it would abandon distribution of the drug, bowing to pressure from pro-life groups and the threat of a boycott. However, two days later, the French government, part owner of Roussel Uclaf, intervened, leading to the resumption of production and distribution of RU-486. The French Health Minister, explaining the government's intervention, stated, "I could not permit the abortion debate to deprive women of a product that represents medical progress. From the moment Government approval for the drug was granted, RU-486 became the moral property of women."

9. Yes but
Who wants to have sex for fun? :shrug:

Everyone knows living a chaste life while consuming only 100% natural wheat germ and fish oil and only thinking pure thoughts of light and goodness is the only way to live.

11. Yes, but with proper homeopathy, macrobiotics, herbal remedies and avoiding fun...
...you can live to be 300 years old and not enjoy a single day of a long miserable life.
